Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomenon of code-switching in the lyrics of six songs by the Japanese rock band X Japan: Dahlia, Scars, Longing, Rusty Nails, Tears, and Forever Love. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research identifies and categorizes code-switching into three types: intersentential, intrasentential, and tag switching. A total of 123 instances of code-switching were identified, with tag switching being the most prevalent (46%), followed by intersentential (37%) and intrasentential switching (17%). The analysis indicates that English insertions enhance rhythm, emphasize emotion, and broaden the appeal to an international audience. These findings underscore the linguistic creativity within J-Rock music and imply that code-switching fulfills both artistic and communicative functions within multilingual song lyrics.
